We are looking for experienced, confident dentists to join our busy NHS urgent care centre in Woolston, Southampton. This is not a routine general practice role—this position is suited to clinicians who thrive in a fast-paced, high-volume environment and enjoy the challenge of emergency dentistry.

- No two days are the same; adaptability is key.
- We are looking for clinicians who can work efficiently without compromising patient care, and who are comfortable making quick, sound clinical decisions.
Performance & UDA Expectations
- Daily UDA targets apply (details provided on enquiry).
- Overachievement is paid at £/UDA.
- No financial penalties for underperformance.
- This structure is designed to reward productivity while maintaining a supportive working environment.
What We're Looking For
- GDC registered dentist.
- Valid NHS performer number (unconditional).
- Experience in general dentistry (urgent care experience desirable).
- Up-to-date indemnity and immunisation records.
- A strong communicator—clear coordination with nurses and front desk is essential.
- Able to work at pace while maintaining quality care.
- Comfortable in a high-throughput clinical setting.
